Description

I just wanted to let you guys know that I think the README React Native Compatibility table needs to be updated, I tried installing with npm install @react-native-community/slider --save yesterday and was getting this error after running react-native run-android --appIdSuffix local:

which I think was introduced in 4.3.0? Anyways, I downgraded to 4.2.4, and apparently, it's working now, I guess the fix should look something like this. But I'm not 100% sure about Windows and if it's only >= 0.69 so...

React Native Compatibility

To use this library you need to ensure you are using the correct version of React Native.

@react-native-community/slider version	Required React Native Version
4.3.x	>=0.69
4.2.x	>=0.60; >=0.62 (on Windows);
3.1.x	>=0.60
2.x.x	>= 0.60
1.x.x	<= 0.59

Thank you for reporting, @Knufle! I will take a look into that

I had the same issue;

I followed this and it seems to work as expected (as far as i can tell).

@Knufle After some investigation I found out that the problem is with the dependencies taken for new arch build when having older RN versions. I'm working on the fix, but the idea is to avoid the compatibility issues - I don't want to have the latest 4.3.0 version be only for the latest RN versions, but I want to keep the backward compatibility instead. That is why I decided not to update the compatibility table, but fix the Android build issue instead. I will close this item as invalid, but please track the fix progress in #415. I will also post here once the hotfix is released. Thank you!

@BartoszKlonowski You're welcome! Your proposed solution sounds very good, I'm glad to be making a teeny-tiny contribution to this amazing project :)

@Knufle The fix is now released in v4.3.1
